Man City launches Puma Year of the Dragon clothing range with kit selling out in hours

Manchester City and Puma have released a special edition kit and clothing range inspired by Chinese Year of the Wood Dragon.

The new capsule collection has been unveiled in celebration of the Year of the Wood Dragon and both the men and women's teams are expected to wear the kit in the near future. However, it's not just a new kit that the collection features, with the range featuring a jacket, track pants, and t-shirt, and the kit especially looks to have gone down a storm with the men's kit selling fast.

The collection stands out for its unique look, and one that is quite different to anything City have worn this season or in recent years, and is adorned with metallic details and the dragon motif that wraps around the club crest. The collection is centred around an illustration of the traditional Wood Dragon and while the kit comes in a silver/white colourway, other items, such as the track jacket, come in black.

On the launch of the range, City says: "This special release blends 20 years of the Etihad Stadium's rich history with the vibrancy of Chinese culture. The centrepiece of the collection, a bespoke jersey, features hand-drawn, wood-carved illustrations that artfully intertwine the strength of the Wood Dragon with the architectural splendour of the Etihad's iconic turrets."

Fans will also be able to see the kit in action for the first time as Manchester City Women showcase the new collection on pitch in the Continental Cup fixture against Manchester United on Wednesday 24 January.

Serena Gosling, Director of Retail & Licensing at Manchester City, said, “Manchester City has a large and growing global community of fans who love to show their passion for the club by wearing our products.
